Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 397 - 373: Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree

After Qin Ming tidied up the two corpses, he returned to the outside world once more.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

The moment Master Yunyang died, his Lifebound Golden Silkworm Soul Gu was severely injured as well.

Originally, it was fiercely fighting with the Silver-winged Frost Bee.

But in the next instant, the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison inexplicably weakened significantly, allowing the Silver-winged Frost Bee to seize the opportunity to attack and kill it.

Subsequently, the Silver-winged Frost Bee devoured its corpse.

Qin Ming had initially wanted to study this unique Southern Border Sect’s Soul Gu Spirit Insect.

However, he didn’t have time to stop the Silver-winged Frost Bee from devouring it completely, leaving him with no choice but to give up.

After the Silver-winged Frost Bee devoured the Golden Silkworm Soul Gu clean, it shrank its body and, as if drunk, swayed back to the beehive under the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine Tree.

Meanwhile, the Profound Water Crocodile swayed its head and came over to Qin Ming, looking for praise. It had also made a significant contribution in the battle against Master Yunyang.

Qin Ming patted the massive head of the Profound Water Crocodile, tossing it a Beast Emperor Pill.

Satisfied, the Profound Water Crocodile returned to the Little Spirit Realm to continue its cultivation.

Afterward.

Qin Ming erased all traces of aura nearby, then his figure blurred, instantly disappearing from the spot.

This place had just witnessed an earth-shaking Golden Core battle, located near the Five Elements Mountain Range, so naturally, nearby cultivators had detected it.

However, the intimidating power of the magic was too terrifying, and those low-tier cultivators dared not risk getting close to investigate.

Only after things had quieted down for most of the day did some fearless loose cultivators gradually approach, hoping to find opportunities.

But when they saw several mountains flattened to the ground, they couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

"Good gracious, that must have been a Nascent Soul Great Power at work, right?"

"This is too terrifying. We’d better leave quickly!"

"Fellow Daoist, wait for me!"

...

At the same time, deep within the Sect of Divine Dao Mountain in the Great Jin’s Southern Domain.

Inside a grand hall, the Lifebound Soul Lamps of the sect’s core cultivators were enshrined in rows.

Suddenly.

The soul lamps in the first and third rows abruptly extinguished at the same time...

A gray-robed elder keeping watch in the Soul Hall witnessed this, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible?!"

"The Third Elder’s soul lamp is out..."

"And Elder Wen... both fell simultaneously..."

"What on earth did they encounter?"

The fall of Nascent Soul Seeds outside was undoubtedly a major event for Divine Dao Mountain.

After all, the sect had expended countless top-tier resources and effort on the Nascent Soul Seeds, which bore the future hopes and legacy of Divine Dao Mountain.

The fall of such pivotal figures would shake not only Divine Dao Mountain but likely the entire Great Jin Cultivation Realm.

The Golden Core Elder overseeing the hall was momentarily flustered and was about to rush out to report to the sect.

Buzz~

The air in the hall rippled as a black profound-robed elderly figure with wizened skin and a hooked nose emerged from the void, his gaze cold and piercing. Yet, he emanated no mana fluctuations, as if he were mortal.

But the Golden Core Elder guarding the hall, upon seeing this figure, immediately bowed and greeted, "Disciple greets Supreme Elder!"

This eagle-nosed elder was none other than Master Wangu, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Divine Dao Mountain.

His icy gaze fixated on the two extinguished soul lamps, and the temperature in the air plummeted, becoming frigid and suffocating.

The Golden Core Elder standing beside Master Wangu couldn’t help but shiver in fear. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Reporting to Supreme Elder, the Lifebound Soul Lamps of the two elders just suddenly extinguished, suggesting they met with disaster."

"Should we gather the disciples..."

"Hmm... no need, I had left a mark on Yu Liang to manifest a warning if faced with a formidable foe."

"Yet this time, even my shadow projection wasn’t triggered before he was instantly killed, indicating that whoever acted was no ordinary person."

"It could only have been one of those few undying ancients capable of such, so your presence would be futile."

Master Wangu’s voice was hoarse and low, filled with coldness that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Then... what should we do? Please instruct us, Supreme Elder."

The trembling Golden Core cultivator nervously inquired, as matters involving the Nascent Soul Realm seemed beyond the capacity of disciples like them.

"Investigate, we must still investigate. The rest, this ancestor will decide."

"Also, pass down the order to bring another from the Nascent Soul Seed Sequence to fill the spot behind Wen Yuliang."

Master Wangu coldly instructed.

"Yes! I will obey the Supreme Elder’s command!"

Then, Master Wangu’s figure faded and disappeared as if he had never appeared.

The Golden Core Elder cautiously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried out to handle matters.

...

Meanwhile, a thousand miles west of the Spirit Fields of Five Elements Mountain, deep underground.

In a dim cavern.

"Dig, dig, dig!"

"Dig, dig, dig, dig!"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was frantically digging, its rear raised, through the incredibly hard Profound Iron Rock Layer, which even Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts could not breach, nor could cultivators’ divine thoughts penetrate.

Yet under its claws, it was like cutting through tofu.

In recent days.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat used the Spirit Field as its center, digging in various directions, creating hundreds of tunnels large and small.

Being a Tier Three Mid-Stage Demon King, it was exceptionally fast at tunneling, doing what it did best with ease.

But after days of digging, it had bored tunnels circling the entire Five Elements Mountain Range several times, yet found nothing at all.

Now, this tunnel was the last direction the Heaven-Devouring Rat could dig.

"Could Master have been mistaken?"

"There’s nothing underground here?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat stopped its digging, shook off the spiritual soil from its body, and sat down, pondering aloud in bewilderment.

Suddenly!

Just then, its nose twitched, and through the thick rock layer, it sensed something stirring not far away.

Its innate treasure-seeking divine technique suddenly activated!

"That’s the aura of a treasure!"

"Hmm... it is indeed incredibly strong!"

"The first time I’ve encountered such in my life, could it be a fortune?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s eyes lit up, its spirits lifted instantly.

It didn’t hurry to continue breaking through the cave, but instead released a Demon Thought, probing in the sensed direction...

Merely a moment later.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s massive Demon Thought penetrated the rock layer, revealing a bright scene in its view!

A vast and magnificently beautiful subterranean world unfolded before its eyes.

"Good gracious... what is this place?"

Surprised, the Heaven-Devouring Rat cautiously surveyed this space.

Finally, its gaze fell upon an object.

A peculiar spirit plant, resembling coral, three meters in height, with seven differently colored branches, emitting colorful radiance that was mesmerizing...

A mere glance convinced the Heaven-Devouring Rat that this spirit plant was undoubtedly extraordinary!

"Heh heh heh! What a treasure!"

"Finally, I’m going to make a significant achievement again!"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat nearly jumped for joy, secretly rejoicing in its heart!

However, as its Demon Thought turned, it discovered a figure meditating beneath the Seven-Color Coral Tree, a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator.

And within this space, cultivators clad in Divine Dao Mountain attire continued to patrol vigilantly.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat didn’t act rashly, its eyes swiveling before quietly returning through the tunnel it had dug.

Not long after it departed.

The Golden Core Cultivator from Divine Dao Mountain slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion on his face, muttering to himself:

"Strange, why did it feel like someone was coveting just now?"

"Yet, there’s nothing unusual around..."

At this moment.

A team of dozens from Divine Dao Mountain hurried forward. The leading cultivator, after saluting, respectfully inquired, "Elder Wui, has something happened? Do we need to handle it?"

"Hmm, it’s nothing."

"You all go patrol other areas."

"Yes!"
